I started playing professional basketball in 1971, and I played professionally for five seasons before going to Philadelphia.

I demand more from myself than anybody could ever expect.

I liked the game, I enjoyed the game, and the game fed me enough, and gave me enough rewards to reinforce that this is something that I should spend time doing, and that I could possibly make a priority in my life, versus other sports.

And from the first time I picked up a basketball at age eight - I had a lot of difficulty when I first picked up a basketball, because I was a scrub - there were things that I liked about it.

One of the commitments that I personally have now is to a diverse approach to buying businesses, and the operation of those businesses.

I had to spend countless hours, above and beyond the basic time, to try and perfect the fundamentals.

Being a professional is doing the things you love to do, on the days you don't feel like doing them.
